FAQ

1. Must at least one key result assigned to a cycle have the same deadline as the cycle itself? 
   No. A key result assigned to a cycle does not need to have the same deadline as the cycle.
    
2. If the deadlines don't match, will the objective fail to calculate correctly?
   The goal’s overall progress is calculated based on the percentage of completion of its key results, not on the deadlines of the goal or individual key results.
   
   Deadlines are only used to determine certain status indicators, such as showing a “Needs attention” label when the actual progress does not match the expected progress for a given date. If deadlines differ, the progress calculation will still work correctly.
